Tell me about your Bicycle

[mysunnyboy]

I'm a dumbass, you told me that offline. I was really high and forgot. Jumping off the bridge rang the bell lol.

It rung my bell too. For about 33 years now

I'm surprised anyone makes it to adulthood with all the stupid shit we do.

I was drunk on tequila and jumped off a bridge. Shocking, I know.

Yeah I've jumped off lots of stuff on tequila....sometimes with skis

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

Yep I've also jump out of Jump Off a lot of things and not a drop of alcohol was in sight

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

But there might have been a?????? shit I can not remember

 

[anomalii]

I’ve jumped ON some things because of tequila that I regretted later

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

So you go skiing in the backcountry I'm assuming have you done any base jumping @DarkWeb

Not me but I have a few friends that do stuff like that. You don't just start doing that without serious commitment to learning how to safely do it. It just doesn't draw my interest enough I guess.

This is what my friends do...I'd definitely like to hit a open frozen lake with my skis and a big kite though

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

I have seen my friends combine the two the paragliding and skiing I've never done done that myself always wanted to try base jumping just crazy enough for me

 

[Jeffislovinlife]

yep mom always ask if my friends jumped off a bridge would I do it my response was did they make it if not maybe

One of the guys does it on the ocean with a wakeboard. That's pretty cool.

Right femur broken in 5 places and right ankle joint severed and rebuilt

Ouch....Car accident? Edit...I saw

So today I learned bikes are not easy to work on, because there are so many freaking different versions, standards, measurements, etc. Zero industry standardization. Like there are at least 3 different styles of break caliper mounts That's just the mounts, then there are probably thousands of choices of components.

I think I need to go sit in the flower room for a spell with vaporizer. At least my headache subsided after 2 days!!

It got up to 50° for a few minutes today so I broke the e-bike out for its first real ride. OMG what a freaking blast! This is going to be fun. Didn't even knock one bar off my battery having gone seven miles. But man is it freaking cold. As soon as I got here the sun went in. I'm sitting in my truck with the heat blasting right now.

Almost thought that was gonna read...."Didn't even knock one tooth out" lol

That's cool bud....it's going to be a fun summer.

 

[smoothJoe]

Yeah. Like it sounds. I know at least a few members here ride. I'd love to hear about your experience. What type of riding you do, what kinda bike you use, any upgrades or hacks you've done to it. Pictures are a huge plus!

@Laughing Grass @sarahJane211 are the ones that come to mind off the bat. But please! Don't be shy!

Personally, I have recently gotten into Ebikes. I already built a cruiser with a 1000w front hub motor and an 18ah battery. But now I'm looking into building a "gravel" bike. Fat tire 7 speed with the capability to ride on gravel roads, fire breaks, the beach, etc. It will also be a powered bike, but with a mid-drive motor powering the drivetrain eventually to get the maximum amount of torque out of it.


Oh, mods, please don't move this to the Fitness section. You know as well as I do that that is a death sentence for a thread here on RIU...lol

i had a bicycle once

Just a warning...that battery bar isn’t accurate, and as soon as it drops one level, you have a few miles to get back to wherever you started from.

Drop it down to pedal assist 1 and pedal back home when that happens...lol.
